It's a wait, watch and see what happens next......

I should be sleeping, been having a difficult time falling asleep the past couple nights. So I have nothing to do but watch

New force driving earth's tectonic plates

Disclaimer: This is not a dig at you westcoast so please do not take it personally.

Bringing fresh insight into long-standing debates about how powerful geological forces shape the planet, from earthquake ruptures to mountain formations, scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have identified a new mechanism driving Earth's massive tectonic plates.

Passing this through the translator I get:

We have come up with a new scam for getting funding by repeating stuff that has already been said.

Scripps scientists Steve Cande and Dave Stegman have now discovered a new force that drives plate tectonics: Plumes of hot magma pushing up from Earth's deep interior.

We were asleep in the lecture when this was mentioned so it is completely new to us, and we just discovered it.

Using analytical methods to track plate motions through Earth's history

We did the usual guessing game since that is what scientists do. There is no actual evidence so we have to pretend there is.

The arrival of the plume also created immense formations of volcanic rock now called the "Deccan flood basalts" in western India, which erupted just prior to the mass extinction of dinosaurs.

Oh so it was not Chixelub then?

Sorry but this is just rehashed BS to continue putting food on the table.

All of this was postulated in a 2006 report

There is little to recommend the practice of theft.

Question?? Did anyone else see the USGS map this morning?? I almost hit the floor when I first opened it. The circle on the map, off the east coast of the US and Canada was so BIG, so I scrolled down the map and it showed the same huge circle. I then looked at the mag and it said -0.3 What the hell does that mean? Did anyone else see it?? I don't know how to take a snap shot - I wish I did!!


Thursday July 7 2011, 23:27:54 UTC 16 hours ago Canada -0.3 0.0 Detail

I wish the size of the circle would show up on here for me. I really hope I was not the only one to see this...

The image and link were posted in another thread. You can find it in this thread.

Weird!

Be Well.

At least I was not the only one to have seen it - Thanks Bishop!

Saw that too. But if it were that big, I think the world would be ringing like a bell right now.

Perhaps we should all scream 'Government Cover-up!'

Just kidding.

Be Well.

No kidding! I think the entire east coast, and then some, would be obliviated!

I was scanning across the northern US and saw a couple of eq's in Montana. I know they have been having a lot of flooding going on and was wondering if eq's of this size and depth were unusual for this location.

Here ya go - if you accept this as intelligent information

Montana

Earthquake History
Montana is one of the most seismically active States in the Union. Since 1925, the State has experienced five shocks that reached intensity VIII or greater (Modified Mercalli Scale). During the same interval hundreds of less severe tremors were felt within the State. Montana's earthquake activity is concentrated mostly in the mountainous western third of the State which lies within a seismic zone that also includes southeastern Idaho, western Wyoming, and central Utah.

No offense taken PM...

Always good to get your opinion. I was thinking it was kinda a no-brainer...so this HAS been discussed before. Makes sense.

As to the mega quake on the East Coast... Glad you are all still alive.

OK so where did you get that one from

Yours looks more like what they had on LISS.

Well New Hampshire just had a 2.6, but I wouldn't classify that as being an east coast "big one" !

Probably all the shaking in the New Zealand area. If you antipode the NH area, you come out to that area. I been doing some research on the antipodal maps

Puterman, we're all waiting for your explanation for that -.3 mega quake off the east coast of canada this am.....you're the only one we're gonna believe

I just checked and the depth of the "oddity" has been changed from when I saved a screenshot this morning.
quakes.globalincidentmap.com...

it`s now listed as 178km deep.

I just noticed that same thing a couple hours ago myself...very strange indeed.

reply to post by dragonlover12


there doesn't seem to be anything normal about it..I am surprised USGS hasn't explained anything about it or at least taken it off the screen

reply to post by megabogie


Kinda worries me that the depth was changed. Don`t they do that if its been reviewed by a seismologist and the depth has been determined?

Don`t have any idea what is going on with the info .

Can`t wait to get answers on this one !
